Chapter 268

"I also know it's a good thing," Qing Xia said in a deep voice, her face slightly dignified: "But so much grain is produced at the same time, the price will definitely come down, Jin Shaohuang is a businessman, what's the use of asking for so much grain?"

Chu Li was stunned when he heard the words, lowered his head and said, "You mean, Jin Shaohuang wants to rebel?"

"I'm just guessing," Qing Xia said in a deep voice, "the army has not moved, and the food and grass go first. In this way, all the people in the southeast will become tenants of the Jin family this year, and [-]% of the grain production in the southeast will fall to the Jin family." Once Jin Shaohuang has the slightest disagreement, let’s not talk about where the food and grass will go to Nanchu if he communicates with other countries. Even if he just hoards goods and raises the price of food, then Nanchu will have to We are about to face a catastrophe. Chu Li, this is a very dangerous thing, we have to guard against it."

Chu Li's eyes were gloomy, he suddenly turned his head to look at Qing Xia, raised his eyebrows, and said with a chuckle: "After talking for a long time, tell me what you think."

Qing Xia smiled triumphantly, and said: "How do you know I have an idea?"

Chu Li closed his eyes, leaned on the soft chair, and smiled proudly: "If you have no idea, you will find someone to sabotage the Wealth Fighting Conference on the spot, and will you endure it until now?"

Qing Xia covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You are smart, but the solution is actually very simple. I will come to find this Jin Shaohuang and buy all his food."

"Buy it?" Chu Li frowned, and said, "I don't have that much money, and I don't have a place to put it."

"You don't need to pay for the money," Qing Xia said with a smile: "The sea ban has been lifted, and in one year, the big ships will be built. I want to sell all these grains to Japan."

Chu Li was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said: "What is your plan? Didn't you say that you hate that country to the bone and want to burn it to the ground?"

"It's just out of anger," Qing Xia said solemnly, "Chu Li, let me tell you, in this world, there will never be a nation that can completely conquer another nation by force. Even if they are small, we can rule for ten or eight years." years, but can they rule for 1000 or 2000 years? If we want to succeed, we must assimilate ideologically and impose economic sanctions. If we want them to rely on us and cannot do without us, then they will surely live under our feet. Shivering over one of your sneezes."

"Didn't you just kill their messenger?"

"That's not important," Qing Xia interrupted, "Now Japan is in the midst of a civil war, and the shoguns and shoguns are fiercely fighting each other. There are three most powerful forces in the country, and the emperor is only a low-ranking one. The reason why I want to kill those few The envoys contacted a few daimyos with great fanfare, just to show their posture deliberately, saying that we in Nanchu do not support their emperor, and only by destroying the emperor's prestige in Japan can they make their mess even worse."

"Wa has been in war for many years, and the country has been devastated. Many daimyo have woken up and started to recuperate and develop their economy. Once they stop the war and submit to the emperor's rule, they will unite and develop rapidly. And we lift the sea ban. Let them continue fighting without any worries. They want food, silk, medicine, tea, and various living utensils, and we will sell them one by one. We must not let them stop the war because of lack of supplies. Japan has many minerals, If there is a lot of gold and silver, they will dig it out and exchange it with us. What we have to do is to support the weak side to fight against the strong side. Keep gathering gold and silver, hoard them, enrich the treasury, and cultivate them to depend on us. moths, until their minerals are mined clean and the domestic economy is in depression, and then we have a chance to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, Qingxia's eyes suddenly showed a gleam of brilliance. She walked around the room and said with high spirits: "From a short-term perspective, it will not only solve the future troubles of the Jin family, but also paralyze the high-level Japanese. It will be of great benefit to our Northern Expedition to have enough gold and silver to buy and clear the food and grass of the other two countries. From the perspective of long-term interests, gold and silver are the currency of the whole world. As long as the gold and silver are guaranteed not to flow out, one day sooner or later We will be the first to accumulate primitive accumulation, and do a good job of currency accumulation for the industrial revolution. When long guns and cannons, sharp arrows and ships come out one after another, then our warships and guns will open the door to the West and turn them into our vassals , turning our country into the greatest empire of all."

Chu Li looked at Qing Xia's appearance, and suddenly chuckled, Qing Xia was looking forward to the future, she was happy, she lowered her head and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Li said: "It seems that you haven't been this happy for a long time. I found that you are only in such high spirits when you are calculating others."

Qing Xia was taken aback, and then said angrily: "I'm planning for you, don't bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know good people."

Chu Li raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "How dare you call me a dog?"

"Stop putting gold on your face!" Qing Xia squinted and said, "Rhubarb is much cuter than you."

The woman in a white robe walked to the bed, yawned, and said, "Hurry up, my lord is going to rest."

Chu Li hugged his shoulders and stood up, humming and sneering twice and said, "You are so audacious to peek at me taking a bath, if you are in Shengdu, I will definitely dig out your eyes."

Qing Xia glanced at him disdainfully, and said: "How dare you not close the door when taking a shower, if an exhibitionist like you were in my hometown, he would have been beaten to death with a stick."

Chu Li was slightly angry, snorted, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the room.

Qing Xia stood by the bed and smiled faintly, glanced around, closed the door, leaned against the door panel, feeling a little tired suddenly.

She knew that she and Chu Li were trying to avoid some embarrassing emotions, so they laughed and scolded to whitewash the peace, but after all, there was still a potential undercurrent flowing slowly.

She lowered her head, only to see a small sachet on the table. When she picked it up, it was the royal lily fragrance, which was most helpful for falling asleep.She picked up the sachet and put it in front of her nose, took a deep breath, and then lay down on the bed with all her clothes on.

In three days, we will leave the customs with Chu Li. It is better to settle the matter here as early as possible.

Thinking this way, Qing Xia sniffed the fragrance of lilies, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Then, you're done with this. Go look in the mirror and see if you can still recognize yourself." Chu Li turned his head, only to see that his face in the mirror had completely changed, with pale skin and eye shapes. Long and narrow, even the outline of the face is quite different.He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, just about to reach out to touch it, but he was hit down with a snap.

Qing Xia frowned and said: "Don't move around, you haven't done it yet, just wait."

Le Song, Jinyu and others were watching from the sidelines, their mouths closed in surprise, and Jinyu said in admiration, "This is the legendary disguise technique, right?"

Qing Xia turned her head and said with a smile: "I don't know if you can have such a superb method of disguise here. But mine was invented by my former boss who invited makeup masters from all over the world to study for several years. Here There are not enough materials, and many things can only be filled with lead powder, otherwise not only can the appearance be changed, even if a man disguises himself as a woman, or copies someone's appearance to pretend to be fake, he will not be discovered."

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head and said to Chu Li: "Lead powder is harmful after all. Although I have put two layers of foundation on it for isolation, I still try to control the time as much as possible. It will take three hours at most to wash it off. Hey , I really don’t understand, I’ve been to the banquet of the big southeast family dozens of times, this time it’s not a big deal, what are you going to do, it makes us nervous, what if we show some cheating?”

Chu Li snorted coldly, turned his head awkwardly, and didn't speak.But he hummed uncomfortably in his heart, is it a big deal?This time, it was the family banquet of the emperor's housekeeper.

When everything was ready, someone from outside the door came to inform, saying that Jin Shaohuang, the son of the Jin family, had sent someone to meet him and was waiting at the door.

Qing Xia stood up, wearing a purple and gold long python robe that looked extravagant, she was just about to go out when Chu Li flicked his sleeves, walking ahead as it should.

"Hmm!" Qing Xia coughed suddenly, everyone turned their heads in doubt, and looked at Qing Xia together.Qing Xia hooked his fingers at Chu Li, and said in a male voice: "Master Wu, do you have the concept of being an assistant? You ran to the front before the master left. Am I you, the boss or the boss?" Your follower?"

Chu Li's expression froze when he heard the words, and he saw Qing Xia walking in front of him with a chic and triumphant posture.The Great Emperor of Nanchu's face was burning hot. If it hadn't been covered by lead powder, it would have been flushed red, and he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

How could Le Song and the others dare to walk in front of the emperor like Qingxia, they all followed behind Chu Li, and none of them dared to walk side by side with him.

However, before he walked out of the gate, Governor Xia's face suddenly changed, and he turned around and was about to go back.The people behind were stunned, and were about to ask, when they suddenly heard a crisp voice shouting loudly: "Master Xia, Yu'er has been waiting for you for a long time!"

I saw Dongfang Yuer wearing a light green embroidered double-breasted open-necked pearl shirt with colorful butterflies on her upper body, a tender purple pleated long skirt, a pair of flow-colored embroidered shoes, and a chic girly colorful cloud bun. Green beaded hairpin, pink cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth, full of the brilliance and charm of a young girl, she jumped off a gorgeous carriage, ran forward a few steps, grabbed Qing Xia's sleeves, and smiled. He said: "Yesterday afternoon, I came to find adults to watch the Fighting Wealth Conference together. Who knew that you had already left first. I was looking for you for half the night. Unfortunately, there were too many people, so I haven't found you."

Qing Xia's face suddenly became somewhat embarrassed, and she said to Dongfang Yu'er with a wry smile: "Miss Dongfang, I'm going to have a banquet at Mr. Jin's mansion soon, you see, let's talk about things later."
